FAQPage Schema
How do I automate documentation updates for skills without breaking contracts?

You can automate skill updates safely by reading formal skill contracts to validate allowed changes. This mechanism classifies improvements, adds references, and enhances explanations while ensuring compatibility with predefined contracts.

What is a skill contract and how does it guide knowledge extraction?

A skill contract defines what can change in a skill, such as references, SKILL.md content, or scripts. It guides knowledge extraction by recording update outcomes for governance and classifying improvements across multiple skills.

How do I add references and document edge cases across multiple skills?

You can add references and document edge cases by providing the target skill and intended improvement to an updater. It integrates improvements according to the skill contract and records the results for governance.

Does automated skill updating support governance and across-project knowledge tracking?

Yes, automated skill updating logs all modifications for governance and across-project knowledge extraction. It records the outcome of each update, ensuring that changes to references and SKILL.md content are formally documented.

What are the limitations of using formal contracts for skill updates?

The main limitation is that updates are restricted to allowed types defined in the contract, such as SKILL.md changes, references, or scripts. Ad hoc changes outside these validated boundaries are not permitted.

Can I use skill-updater to refine SKILL.md content and classify improvements simultaneously?

Yes, you can refine SKILL.md content and classify improvements simultaneously. The updater operates across multiple skills to enhance explanations, add references, and document patterns while respecting contract boundaries.
